Secretary general of the China international freight forwarders association Liu Xuede believes that in 2016 China's economic development of the new situation brought opportunities for freight logistics industry, especially with the "area" construction speed, connectivity, capacity, cooperation, and cooperation to develop the industrial park and other major projects led to the project logistics, china-eu emerging professional logistics such as trains, cross-border electricity explosive growth. With upstream companies accelerating their "going global", international freight forwarding enterprises have strengthened their overseas network layout, carried out localized logistics and third-country business, and significantly improved their international operation level. When issuing the report, he also looked into the future development trend of freight forwarders, and said that at the present stage, international freight forwarder logistics enterprises have formed three general consensus when determining their respective development orientation.
First, the proportion of freight forwarder service logistics should be improved through specialization in business direction. This is reflected in that enterprises should pay more attention to the research and development, progress and use of logistics technology, logistics information and logistics equipment, pay more attention to Internet + and use big data to promote online and offline integration services. Introduce new business such as logistics finance, logistics insurance, logistics legal affairs and foreign exchange settlement agency with our own ability and strength, and establish cooperative relationship with core customers. Introduce supply chain management thinking, enhance the value of multimodal transportation, engineering logistics, cooperative logistics and other whole-process transportation.
Second, we should attach more importance to cooperation in business philosophy. No matter the size or size of the enterprise, or the professional ability or strong or weak, they need to turn from perfect competition to competition and cooperation, and then carry out cooperative competition, or even through equity replacement, the formation of business alliance or even the organization of industrial alliance, so as to concentrate a larger range of resource advantages and complement each other's strengths. There are many examples of this in the transportation sector in recent years. For example, UPS and SF Express recently announced a joint investment in a new joint venture to develop new business formats in the middle segment of their existing professional fields, in order to make up for the service products that they could not develop independently. This will be a new type of cooperation between big companies.
Third, to improve business capacity, continuous innovation is the key. Successful enterprises should not only maintain the capacity to improve the existing scale of development, but also constantly innovate in the service of customer needs, constantly research and develop new products and new fields, so as to achieve people without me, people have me better, people have me strong, people have me strong. Even in a certain professional field, or even only in a certain link of the differential advantage, are the value of their own competitiveness. In the future, the competition of freight forwarding industry must be manifested in specialized, refined and special differentiated services.
